I am experiencing this bug as well, though with an Acer laptop, no touch screen. random lockups where the mouse still works. fiddling with tty1 has mixed results -- killall on compiz to avoid a hard reboot would work for a bit, but after a couple of hits of that, things just went weird in the way of it just giving me the stock orange background image, or performing very slowly. I switched from firefox usage to chrome and that seemed to help. the last day I was using firefox, this lockup happened 3 times in one morning. normally after my screen sleeps from inactivity. but sometimes while I'm actively using the laptop. after 5 days of no issues in using chrome, it happened again. I've downloaded the compiz config app and disabled animations. hoping that will avoid the problem.
